HANNIBAL â Twain on Main, one of Hannibalâs major downtown events, will be making a comeback this year after falling victim to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
During Tuesday nightâs meeting of the Hannibal City Council approval was given to a handful of requests from the Historic Hannibal Marketing Council, some of which are necessary in order for the festival to take place. The OK was given to close certain downtown streets, to use city-owned property, to sell alcohol on city-owned property and to discharge firearms loaded with blanks.
The family-friendly street festival, which celebrates Mark Twainâs books, will again take place over the Memorial Day weekend, which will occur this year on May 28 through May 30.
